Robert:
One way to do it is Map[list[[#]] &, Range[x, Length[list], y]], but
even simpler is
list[[ Range[x, Length[list], y]]].
In[7]:=
Map[list[[#]] &, Range[3, Length[list], 2]]
Out[7]=
\!\(TraditionalForm\`{c, e, g, i}\)
In[8]:=
list[[ Range[3, Length[list], 2]]]
Out[8]=
\!\(TraditionalForm\`{c, e, g, i}\)
